For Eveith the practice of midwifery was a calling that came early,
at age 17 she was invited to attend a home birth, and the sail was
set from that point on.
Eveith Miller has been a midwife since 1972; she has practiced in
Louisiana, Oregon and Texas. By 1984 she had set anchor in Texas,
where she still practices today. All together Eveith has delivered over
1600 babies in her career and she has made many valuable contributions to
the field of midwifery, not the least of where was assisting to pass a
law legalizing midwifery in Louisiana. A true visionary in her field,
Eveith is always expanding her horizon, offering clients a variety of
choices in not only the birth setting but in the mode of delivery
as well. A favorite of many is the underwater birthing process which
Eveith makes available to her clients both in a birthing center or home
birth setting.
Eveith started delivering babies before she herself ever had her first
child. But along the way she had three opportunities to practice what
she preaches by having a midwife in attendance when her children were
born at home. Now as the years have passed she has had the opportunity
to deliver the next generation in her family as one after another of
her children made her a grandmother. Midwife, mother and grandmother
Eveith feels honored to wear each of these hats.
On many occasions Eveith has donned other hats, educator, business
owner friend and wife but soon she will widen her audience through
the publication of her latest accomplishment a complete and up to date
midwife reference book.
Since her early day of delivering babies in the bayous of Louisiana
Eveith has known that she wanted to do mission work. Reach out to
others, giving of herself is what she does. So now that the nest is
empty and her family needs her less she has joined up with On This Rock
to make a difference in the lives not only the children of Honduras
but those who bring them into the world.
